Fluid management to protect kidneys in septic shock
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to guide fluid treatment for people in septic shock who are on a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this method can prevent kidney damage, which is a common complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You have septic shock, meaning a severe infection causing low blood pressure that needs medication to keep it up, and high lactic acid levels in your blood.
- You are on a breathing machine (ventilator) and are sedated.
- You have both an arterial line (small tube in an artery) and a central line (small tube in a large vein) already in place.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease or need dialysis before this illness.
- You do not have severe heart valve problems, high pressure in the belly, or injuries that prevent using a blood pressure cuff on your arm.

This study looks at how stable blood pressure and heart rhythm are in people with sepsis who need continuous kidney filtration. If you qualify, it may help researchers better improve care for critically ill patients receiving this treatment.
This study tests whether giving certain fluids and a blood-pressure-raising medicine together early can help prevent kidney damage (acute kidney injury) in people with septic shock. If you are in intensive care with septic shock, this treatment might protect your kidneys.
This trial tests whether different blood pressure medicines protect kidney function better in people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes low blood pressure). It compares norepinephrine (the standard treatment) with other options to see which is best for the kidneys.
This study tests a computer software that helps doctors decide how much fluid to give patients in septic shock. It aims to improve blood pressure and oxygen delivery without causing fluid overload.
This study looks at how the body responds to extra fluids in patients with severe infections (sepsis) who are on a breathing machine. It aims to understand how fluids affect blood flow and congestion to improve treatment.
This trial compares the use of a simple ultrasound test of the lungs and heart to help doctors decide how much fluid to give adults with septic shock. The goal is to find the most accurate way to guide treatment, which could lead to better recovery.
